This is another stunning Anne Perry -- where there is much discussion of social classes and the larger world of England during the Vicotrian era. The amazing thing about Perry is that these details are in her books not just to set a context for the story line, but to advance the plot. Not a word is wasted -- not even when discussing clothing at a ball. Everything is important to the mystery, and you just might learn a bit about people while you're listening.

Narration is excellent. I gave it only 4 starts out of 5 because I think the ending is a bit weaker than some of her others. But it's still amazing to me how she does it.

DEFINITELY worth listening to

I love Anne Perry books. This one I especially liked. She has such a great way of telling the story. Even though it's about murder, it's a classy murder mystery without today's bad language and steamy sex. Anne Perry is a breath of fresh air as far as I'm concerned.

The endings always leave you hanging and not completely satisfied. The endings are always abruptly finished.
